This film is very unsatisfactory for Chinese people. According to the logic of Chinese thinking, Margaret should do everything possible to get the Howard Manor. But in the end, although Margaret eventually got Howard Manor, and lived in with Helen and her son. But not being able to grab her fox tail is too disappointing.

Margaret, shown in the film, is a charismatic woman.

The Schlegels and the Wilcoxes lived across the road. The two have always had some contacts.

In her association with Margaret, Mrs. Wilcox felt that she had entered a spiritual realm that she had never had before, and a particularly pleasant emotion arose in her heart. She left a will on her deathbed to give Margaret the country house Howard Manor. But Henry burned the will.

Schlegel's tenancy agreement is about to expire. Henry proposed to Margaret on the grounds of helping Schlegel rent a house, and Margaret quickly agreed.

Daughter Ivy and son Charles are dissatisfied. Charles has been trying to wait for the Schlegels to show some fox tails.

That Buster didn't know why he sent ghosts to Howard Manor to find Helen. Charles believed that Helen was unmarried and was pregnant with Buster's child, which was indecent. The two had an argument and Charles went to prison for manslaughter.

Charles said in prison that he did not want to leave the house to his children. Henry's second son, Paul, also did not accept the gift from his father. So Henry finally decided to leave the house to his wife Margaret, but stated that he would not leave her any money in addition. And Margaret intends to leave the house to Helen's son in the future. Mrs. Wilcox's will, after a long turn, was finally fulfilled.

    #重看# Compared with the introverted restraint and more Pangbo of the original film, the plot is more dramatic, and the characters are more prominent, especially the comparison between the idealistic complex of the younger sister and the pragmatic older sister. However, the final communion of minds is not in vain for Mrs. Wilkes's entrustment-this kind of breakthrough based on the barriers of the class based on the mutual understanding and cherishment between women is quite warm and touching, and it not only lays the foundation for the follow-up plot advancement, but also emphasizes class integration. Provide shelter. It’s all about class differentiation. The sisters become the middle layer of the upper and lower layers. They can rise to the glitzy upper layer or sink to the grassy lower layer, creating a panoramic picture of the society at that time; the rich can start over a hundred times, It is also a luxury for the poor to have art hobbies such as reading or music. All grievances start and end at Howard Manor. The setting is elegant and the pastoral style is intoxicating, especially Buster sleepwalking in the blue and purple flowers, walking in the gorgeous dreams, life is like a shooting star.

    In the seemingly doomed manor reincarnation, fate has changed. Great Buster, heart-shattering face, heart-breaking life. Let those who only know how to spoil it spoil it, and let those who deserve to be cherished cherish it. Have you ever seen the dawn? I have pursued it. This can be questioned. The surging, turbulent and shocking in the classical and elegant, Ivory's seemingly outdated skills are not easy to see again. 7/10

Howards End quotes

  • Margaret Schlegel: I do wish you'd give us Howard's End.

  • [first lines]

    Margaret Schlegel: [reading letter] Dearest Meg, I'm having a glorious time. I like them all. They are the very happiest, jolliest family that you can imagine. The fun of it is that they think me a noodle, and say so - at least, Mr. Wilcox does. Oh Meg, should we ever learn to talk less.
